Remarks on the Regularity of Weak Solutions to Some Variational Inequalities.
Let be a smooth compact oriented riemannian manifoldwithout boundary, and assume that its -homology group has notorsion. Weak limits of graphs of smooth maps with equibounded total variation give riseto equivalence classes of cartesian currents in for which we introduce a natural-energy.Assume moreover that the first homotopy group of iscommutative. In any dimension we prove that every element in can be approximatedweakly in the sense of currents by a sequence of graphs...
Let be a smooth oriented Riemannian manifold which is compact, connected, without boundary and with second homology group without torsion. In this paper we characterize the sequential weak closure of smooth graphs in with equibounded Dirichlet energies, being the unit ball in . More precisely, weak limits of graphs of smooth maps with equibounded Dirichlet integral give rise to elements of the space (cf. [4], [5], [6]). In this paper we prove that every element in is the weak limit...
We discuss variational problems for the -Dirichlet integral, non integer, for maps between manifolds, illustrating the role played by the geometry of the target manifold in their weak formulation.
